When I was 16 I was abused by my friend's mother. It was a horrible feeling, because this was someone I trusted, and I told myself that she wouldn't really be doing anything wrong to me. But she WAS. and I was scared to tell anyone because I was so embarrassed.
This is so sad. I'm sorry for your pain. You were a scared child, and children can never be blamed for what's happened to them.
I know a lot of people who have been through this and, with hard work and support, they turned out to have very good lives. There's always hope, even when you've been through something that felt hopeless.
Oh wow. That is really cool. I'm hoping to get into a forensic science elective next. And thanks a lot for believing in me. It means a lot. Like honestly it really does.
I love forensics! We had a unit on that in middle school and it lasted a whole semester; I aced the class. Your mental illness doesn't define you. You're still a person and you can do whatever you want to :) Guess what? I believe in you. You can do this!
Being in a dark place spiritually is so hard!! I'm so sorry that you've had to go through that.
I also started to harm myself because of my relationship with God. I felt so distant from Him and abandoned by Him. I got to the place where is just didn't care if I went to hell or not. I thought He didn't care enough about me to make me quit...
I just got out of a relationship that lasted a year and a half. That's the longest I've ever been in a relationship before and it was hard to see him go especially the way things snapped apart at the end. I know how it feels to be hurt by people on purpose and I know how much it sucks. I can't trust anyone that gets close to me for a long time...
I understand what you're going through, I've been cutting for 8 years off and on. I got into a really bad spot last year and got addicted to it for four months straight. I've been clean for probably a month and I plan on staying that way. This site has helped me a lot because I get to put my feelings out there and not be judged. Everyone on...
My name is Gabrielle and I am twenty-eight years old. I began to self-injure at age fifteen -- so nearly thirteen years minus a two year period. This website is one about self-injury (self-harm), made to let self-injurers know that they are not alone and to help their friends and family learn more about self-injury and how it affects their loved one.
